Yeah, I've messed with the DPI and unfortunately on my crappy low-res display anything above 96 appears huge. Thanks for the tip though.

Thanks, but I actually have the fonts. They just do not appear anti-aliased. They are pixelated on the screen when I used wine, but not in VirtualBox.

Any other thoughts?

I'm going to bump this as I have the same question

Sorry about the bad links, I think they are fixed now (worked for me).

As far as speed goes, this is the first time I have ever used full journaling. I have not noticed any speed difference and...

whoa, a little harsh on the response there. I thought you might just have a copy of windows laying around. My laptop came with it installed, so I just used the old install disk. I have to have at...

This is a lot of trouble to go to just for music, but I use VirtualBox anyway to run MSOffice (don't give me crap, I'm a business student and have to have it). So from there Ruckus was an easy...
